This one was a particularly nice one because the heroine turned into the ice queen during the six months after her husband's passing. During this time, the hero has turned his attention towards her and tries to get to know her a little better everyday. She does hold out and while, it seems that she's being unfair towards the hero, she has had to deal with a lot in the past 1to 2 years. The hero becomes her boss after the heroine's brother and him conduct a business deal to buy the business that the heroine works. The heroine holds out strong against the hero and his antic and it's only until that he gives up that she actually starts looking his way. She even takes him to her house to be cared for due to his high fever. We also learn the downward spiral of pain for the heroine: She finds out that she has a dangerous heart condition that not only keeps her from having children but could give out any day, her dad dies unexpectedly, her husband unable to handle the heart condition news tries to die before her in his F-1 accident but fails, leads him to abuse and cheat her while he is alive and then he dies. So, yeah, it's understandable for the heroine to numb any emotions. In fact, not even her brother knows the whole story of the heart condition but the hero stays beside and stays strong. Except towards the end before the surgery when he unleashes his tears and fears of losing her. I loved how she held and reassured him that everything would fine it does become fine.
